Abstract

Influenza is an acute respiratory disease that causes annual epidemics and periodic pandemics with high mortality. It is characterized by the development of severe complications, the main of which are pulmonary and cardiovascular ones. The only effective method of preventing influenza, and therefore the influenza-associated complications, is vaccination, which is carried out annually on the basis of World Health Organization influenza vaccines composition recommendations. This article provides the review of the research data confirming the effective role of influenza vaccination in the prevention of pulmonary and cardiovascular pathologies (bibliography: 12 refs).
